Usman Haque’s Man Made Aurora Borealis

Usman Haque’s Man Made Aurora Borealis

By Dan Gould on July 21, 2008

A standout at the recent GLOW festival in Santa Monica was Usman Haque’s mind blowing art installation called Primal Source. Looking like the northern lights or a supernova on the beach, Primal Source was made up of a huge water spray screen with a rear projected light patterns. The changing display was controlled by crowd reaction and ambient noise. Microphones spread around the outside of the display picked up the cheers and shouts of the crowd which were then translated into the patterns and colors on the water screen. Check out the video below.
